Background
This was a company that produced the Japan-only OVA Super Mario Bros.: The Great Mission to Rescue Princess Peach, notable for being the first-ever kind of film adaptation of a video game (the first feature-length film based on a video game was the live-action Super Mario Bros. film from 1993).
Logo (July 20, 1986)

Visuals: On a green background with clouds, some mountains and dirt for the ground, there is "Grouper" in a odd-looking font. On the left of the "p" is "production" and on the right of the "p" is "co., ltd.". On top of "Grouper", there is a drawing of a fish. The logo is placed on a pipe that appears from the left side of the screen as the closing credits end, and which the Mario brothers (Mario and Luigi) enter; the camera pans to the pipe and stops when it is in the center.
Technique: Cel animation.
Audio: An older pipe sound from Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros. 3, followed by some wind sounds.
Availability: It was seen at the end of the closing credits on Super Mario Bros.: The Great Mission to Rescue Princess Peach (a post-credits scene follows the logo); the VHS is very hard to find, but it can be found on a few Japanese Internet stores.
